Extortion is the criminal business model that is dominating the headlines. Join Akamai and IDC to hear about the most effective ways to stop the “Cyber Triple Extortion” threat from impacting your company. This webinar will cover common attack groups, the techniques they use, and how to stop them based on an integrated security strategy. Our panel includes IDC’s Christopher Rodriguez; Akamai’s Advisory CISO, Steve Winterfeld; and Akamai’s Cloud Security Product Manager, Venkat Praneeth Nangineni.

Defending the Triple Threat

Cyberthreats have become more aggressive in recent years, as advanced persistent threats elude detection through stealth and ransomware attacks maximise damages through speed. Devastating data theft campaigns, costly cyber extortion, and hidden zero-day exploits represent a looming sword of Damocles for wary CISOs. Unsurprisingly, the elevated level of risk is driving urgency to rethink and realign security. Zero trust is one framework of security principles and practices that aims to adapt security to the modern threat landscape

Watch this webinar to learn

- How to navigate the threat landscape while managing technological change and user expectations
- What are the beneficial business considerations for Zero trust;
- How IT buyers can start their zero trust journey while they keep business and technical considerations in mind?

Key Zero Trust Considerations: Adapting to Enterprise Business Requirements

No one is a stranger to the complexity of cyber. And with confusion, comes misconception.

In this special episode of The (Security) Balancing Act, Diana Kelley and cyber experts will sit down, and deep dive into the common cyber myths.

Does compliance equal security? Is data safer on-prem than in the cloud? Will AI take our jobs? What misconceptions drive you crazy? Bring your best myths and join Diana Kelley and guests as we decipher common cyber myths in a bid to clear up the confusion.

Cyber Myth Busting: Blasting Common Misconceptions

When Forrester Consulting contacted hundreds of enterprise cloud strategy leaders for a new study, commissioned by Akamai, the responses showed that multicloud only achieves its potential with a workload-first strategy. The study, The Great Cloud Reset, describes the key issues those tech leaders face in implementing multicloud today and in the future, including:

• 41% struggle to find a cloud services provider that can meet data sovereignty requirements
• 88% said they have six or more applications that need to run in multiple regions
• Two-thirds are prioritizing architecture that supports workloads across the core and edge
• More than two-thirds said placing workloads in the right clouds optimized performance, reliability, and resilience

The Great Cloud Reset

API and App Security is no joke. As the volume of API use increases, so does the likelihood of an attack. APIs are powerful tools for developers but when they are left vulnerable, easy targets for cybercriminals they are essentially passageways to business-critical data, and this year, bad bots are becoming a bigger threat for APIs than ever before.

In this month’s episode of The (Security) Balancing Act, we’ll be deep diving into API risk, and how to navigate this growing threat. Join us as we discuss:

-  Defending against DDoS attacks
-  Why it’s crucial to manage your app & API security in one place
- Why API keys must be protected
- Top API security vulnerabilities
-  Understanding how to manage and mitigate risk in a changing climate
-  Future API Security trends
-  And much more!

Secure Your APIs, Secure Your Business

With nearly 50% of organisations regularly releasing vulnerable apps into production because of time restraints from the growing demand of faster turnaround, security is often not being integrated into the application development lifecycle until it is too late. 

Additionally, the number of vulnerabilities is continuously increasing and exploitation attempts are being seen within 24 hours of disclosure. App and API attacks against organisations are on the rise. 

Join us for a two-part webinar, each episode lasting just a bite-sized 20 minutes, where we will take a closer examination of the key takeaways of our recently released State of the Internet / Security report, Slipping Through the Security Gaps: The Rise of Application and API Attacks Against Organisations.

Some key takeaways include:
• LFI attacks tripled over last year and remain top attack vector 
• App and API attacks surged in manufacturing and healthcare industries due to the major increase in IoT connections 
• SSTI, SSRF, and web shells are emerging attack vectors

APIs make up the fabric of the financial services industry - they bridge the customer to the product. 

However, according to recent research by Akamai, as of June 2022, there have been over 9 billion web application and API attacks across the globe. This is three times more than we saw in 2021. Given the value of APIs to the modern organisation, it’s no wonder that they have become a pathway for attackers to infiltrate the network. This talk will cover lessons learned from analysing data across our platform and customers’ best practices. 

Leaders must act now to ensure security is consistent and applied across their entire estate, including web apps and APIs. But what can you do specifically to secure your APIs and how has digital transformation impacted API security? Join us in the third and final episode of Actionable Insights from Akamai as we discuss:

- Best practices for securing your APIs
- How to leverage the cyber kill chain to evaluate your API risks  
- Insights from global Threat Intelligence to enhance your API protection 
- And much more!

Protect Your APIs: Invest in Securing Your Digital Innovation

Digital Transformation (DX) is creating waves of change across all industries, especially in financial services. While the benefits of DX far outweigh the negatives, if not done carefully it can create more risk and complexity across financial environments. Join Akamai to discuss lessons learned from our customers and partners.

The move to cloud, DevOps, APIs, Fintech and open banking are just a few examples of the ways in which the financial services industry is embracing all that digital transformation has to offer. However, with change comes risk. But what are these risks and how does cyber security innovate with the business to protect customers while ensuring a great experience.

In this session we will discuss:

- How to embrace digital transformation while reducing complexity
- Ways in which digital transformation impacts overall risk portfolio
- Approaches to reduce vendor overhead and increase integrated capabilities through single platform

Adapting to Changes in Your Threat Environment

Could your organisation truly survive a data breach and emerge unscathed? 

If the answer is no, or maybe, your cyber security strategy needs a rethink. The importance of preventing and protecting your organisation against a cyber attack is now a fundamental ‘must’, not simply an option. If your organisation was attacked, how would the attacker be detected and moreover, what response plan is currently in place and how could impacts be minimised?

In this fireside discussion, ESG Analyst John Grady is joined by Richard Meeus, Akamai’s EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy to explore how to bullet-proof your data for 2023. 

Join them to discuss: 
-  Why active prevention is now a security 'must-have' instead of a 'nice-to-have'
-  The risk organisations will face in 2023
-  How to minimise the impact of a breach
-  The state of ransomware in 2023 
-  And much more!

Get Ahead of the Game: Preparing for 2023’s Inevitable Cyber Security Breach

If we have one key takeaway from the past two years, it’s that competition for customer loyalty is fierce. It’s no secret consumers became less loyal to brands during the pandemic as products became more difficult to find due to compounding global supply chain issues that still remain. As a result, improving and differentiating CX to retain and attract consumers became – and will remain - a top priority for digital investment. But if you don’t have the right defenses in place to protect these online investments from malicious or unwanted activity – you leave your customers, reputation and bottom line at risk.

Join us in the final episode of the series as we apply key learnings from 2022 trends to help your organization not only survive – but thrive – online throughout 2023.

In the final episode we will discuss:

-  Top security trends within the commerce space for 2023
-  What 2022 has taught us about the importance of protecting customer trust
-  Importance of collaboration between security and digital experience teams

A Look Towards 2023: Considerations for Protecting Customers and Loyalty, Online

In 2022, we’ve seen all sorts of shifts in the cybersecurity world. Nation state attacks, phishing and the growth of AI are only three out of the myriad of trends. In many ways, it’s been an unpredictable year, and security leaders have had to think on their feet to keep up with the wave of change. 

As the year comes to an end, it’s beneficial to evaluate the key trends we’ve experienced in the past 12 months, to truly consider and begin to understand what’s in store for us in the year ahead, and to plan for the unexpected. 

Join us in the final panel of 2022 as we discuss: 
-  Top security predictions for 2023
-  Balancing security and privacy
-  The evolution of the C-Suite 
-  And much more
